Own a genuine piece of World War I home-front history. This antique Red Cross donor pinback button was manufactured during the Great War era (c. 1917-1919) by the Huntzinger Advertising & Manufacturing Company of Kansas City, Missouri. These buttons were proudly worn on lapels across America to signify support and donations to the war relief effort. It features the iconic red Greek cross against a cream/white background, preserved under celluloid.
